Continue reading to find out what Davante Adams fantasy outlook for 2024 and beyond looks like.
In this article, I will dive into Adams’ 2024 fantasy football outlook. Analyzing his previous seasons, current team dynamics, and how much time he has left in the NFL. I’ll explore his upside, potential red flags, and compare him to other wide receivers around the league. Whether you’re contemplating drafting him early or looking to cut bait in dynasty leagues, this comprehensive analysis will help you decide whether Adams is worth his current value.
WR Davante Adams Fantasy Outlook
Heading into his 11th season in the NFL, Adams has been a top-flight wide receiver for the majority of his career. Adams was drafted in the second round of the 2014 NFL Draft by the Green Bay Packers. He struggled mightily in his first two NFL seasons, finishing as WR74 and WR66, respectively.
In his third season, he broke the bust allegations, rising to WR10. Since 2016, Adams has never finished lower than WR23, which happened in 2019 when he only played in 12 games. There is no denying that Adams is one of the best wide receivers of his generation.
Last year, Adams had 1,144 receiving yards and eight total touchdowns. These stats were good enough to place Adams as WR10 in total points, his lowest overall finish since the 2019 season when he only played 12 games.
This year, Adams will have Aidan O’Connell or Gardner Minshew throwing the ball to him. Needless to say, this is less than ideal. However, the only other legitimate threats as pass-catching options are veteran WR Jakobi Meyers and rookie Brock Bowers.
Davante Adams Fantasy Football Outlook 2024
Heading into 2024, Adams is valued as WR9 overall in redraft leagues. Securing Adams will usually cost an early to mid-second-round pick. While Adams had a solid 2023, he will be turning 32 during this season. In our latest 2024 fantasy football rankings, he’s still fairly high.
Since 2015, there has only been one wide receiver who was 32 or older during the season to finish as a WR1. This was Larry Fitzgerald, who finished as WR7 at 32 and WR11 at 33. Betting on Adams at his current ADP is one of the worst bets you can take. If he is not Larry Fitzgerald, he will bust at his current ADP.
Not to mention, he will be playing on one of the worst offenses in the NFL.
At 32 years old, Adams is a player that should be taken several rounds later than his current ADP. If you want to take the risk on an older wide receiver, take Mike Evans a few picks later.
Dynasty Football Outlook
In dynasty fantasy football leagues, Adams is valued as WR33 according to Keep Trade Cut. Adams is the type of player that has a range of values among different leagues. If a rebuilding team owns Adams, they should look to move off of him immediately. There is a chance that a first-round pick is still attainable for Adams.
If a contending team is looking to acquire Adams, there is no problem throwing out a second-round pick to try to get him.
At 32, he could age out at any point. On a championship-caliber roster, hold Adams and hope he can have a Fitzgerald-type end to his career. On a rebuilding roster, there is no reason you should hold him into the season. Check out where Adams is ranked in our latest dynasty fantasy football rankings.
Conclusion
At the end of the day, Adams is coming up on the end of his career. Yes, he is one of the best wide receivers of this generation. However, father time catches up to everyone. Unfortunately. Let your fantasy football opponents take him early and don’t take the low-percentage bet.
